MXOC was proud to host Mother's Day Dinner for the second time this past Friday in partnership with Helping Hands Inc., for mothers who lost children. It was a very special event and MXOC was fortunate to welcome Dr. Lonise Bias as the keynote speaker. Special thank you to the planners, supporters, and the more than 100 mothers who joined us.

It's been a pretty amazing summer at the MXOC! A dozen program partners, a few hundred SYEPers, and one very dedicated community and we have something to show for it---check out the videos from just a couple of our program partners at today's panel and performance showcase!
